Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Chapter 85 [Scorched Corpse]

Xiao Wu led the crowd through the lavender cedar forest to a lake.

The guide who was brought by the shadow guard just in case recognized the lake as Jinghu Lake outside the city of Yanzhou Prefecture. Because the lake surface is calm, a layer of ice will freeze every time it is cold, and I don’t know if there is anything at the bottom of the lake. , in short, the lake is very bright, just like a mirror.

Zhan Zhao stood by the lake and looked towards the center of the lake. Indeed, the sky was reflected on the mirror, so clear that it was unreal.

At this time, the sun was setting and the snow had just stopped, when the entire cloud suddenly tore apart, and a scarlet light shone from the gaps, and the sky on the surface of Jinghu Lake was pale golden, as if the clouds were right under your feet.

Sitting on Zhao Pu's shoulder, the fourth son looked at him with his mouth wide open.

Everyone couldn't help but stop to watch the spectacle.

Xiao Wu stood by the lake, staring at the lake in a daze.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand, took the fourth child from Zhao Pu's hand, and walked towards the lake.

"Alas!" the guide hurriedly said, "The ice is so thin that people can't step on it..."

But before he finished speaking, Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to gently stop him, and at the same time, Zhan Zhao had already walked onto the mirror lake with his fourth son in his arms.

He stepped on the ice of the lake, as if walking on a glazed mirror. The mirror surface was not cracked, and it didn't even move.

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows, and whistled in a low voice——Zhan Zhao's lightness kung fu is indeed amazingly good, it's definitely a matter of talent, if you don't have talent, no matter how hard you practice, it's impossible to reach this level .

Zhan Zhao hugged the fourth son and walked to the center of the mirror lake. There were reflections of the two on the lake. For a moment, it was a little unclear whether they were upright or upside down. It felt unreal.

The fourth son raised his face to see that it was the sky, and then looked at the bottom of his feet, which was also the sky, and he and Zhan Zhao were clearly there.

Zhan Zhao smiled and asked the fourth son, "Is it fun?"

"Yeah!" Little Four nodded happily.

Standing by the lake, Gongsun smiled. For the first time, he felt that it was the right thing to bring his fourth son to Kaifeng Mansion. In fact, Gongsun had repeatedly asked himself before, is it right to join Kaifeng Mansion like this?Although Mr. Bao is fair and honest, he can be regarded as entering the government after all.He is not alone, he has a fourth son, he will grow up day by day, is it better to treat him in Kaifeng mansion, or simply grow up with him in the small courtyard of his hometown, see the doctor and read books?

After Gongsun lived in Kaifeng Mansion, sometimes he would dream at night that when he was investigating the case, he didn't pay close attention to the fourth son. He was taken away by the bad guys, and he would break out in a cold sweat every time.

But at this time, when he saw the smile on the face of the fourth son, he felt that it was very worthwhile. Even if he died in the future and the fourth son was old, he would always remember the beauty of this moment and recall this moment Be happy, this is an experience that you will never have in the cottage in your hometown.

The shadow guards looked at the guide beside him, and saw him staring at Zhan Zhao standing in the center of the lake with his mouth wide open, as if he had seen a ghost.

Zi Ying didn't pay much attention, while Zhe Ying felt that the guide's expression was a little weird.After all, he is an ordinary person, so it is difficult to understand how Zhan Zhao's lightness kung fu is so high. He may think that he is a demon or something else, so there is a little jealousy and suspicion in his eyes.

"His qinggong is very good." Zhe Ying said in a low voice.

"Ah?" The guide looked up at Zhe Ying and nodded, "Oh..."

The guide came back to his senses and said to the crowd, "It will be dark if we don't go any longer. There is still a long way to go back to the state capital. There may be heavy snow at night."

Zhan Zhao ran back with his little four in his arms, his movements were no different from those on flat ground.

The fourth son was sent back to Zhao Pu. At this moment, he hadn't recovered yet, and looked back at the lake with some nostalgia.

Zhan Zhao reached out and patted Xiao Wu on the head, "Go back."

Xiao Wu stood up and followed Zhan Zhao.

Bai Yutang also turned around to leave, but he felt someone touch his arm.

When Bai Yutang turned his head, he saw Zhe Ying.

Zhe Ying winked at Bai Yutang, signaling him to pay attention to that guide.

Bai Yutang glanced at the guide, and saw that he was walking forward with a lot of thoughts, but after walking a few steps, he would glance at Zhan Zhao. How should I say this look...with malicious intentions?

Bai Yutang frowned slightly.

This kind of look is not common. If the guide was frightened by Zhan Zhao's qinggong just now, then he should be very scared.Or maybe the guide thinks that Zhan Zhao is very powerful, it should be because of admiration and admiration, and if the guide thinks Zhan Zhao is disgusting, it's mostly hatred... But at this moment, there seems to be some calculation in his eyes.

After that, everyone walked out of the woods with Xiao Wu as usual, and it turned out that the official road was outside.

The guide showed the way to everyone, "Go straight along this road and you will be the east gate of Yanzhou Prefecture."

The crowd nodded.

Ziying asked the guide, "Aren't you going with me?"

"I'm not going!" The guide shook his head and waved his hands, pointing to a fork in the west, "The village I live in is closest to this road."

Everyone didn't make things difficult for him, Ziying gave him a piece of silver, "I'll trouble you to go this time."

"Yo, I don't dare to ask for it, my lord. I often work for the magistrate, and the yamen has given me money." The guide shied away, and hurriedly said, "I'm going first."

After speaking, he ran away as if fleeing.

Ziying and Zheying watched Zhao Pu together.

Zhao Pu nodded, and the two followed the guide away.

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Have you seen that guide before?"

Zhan Zhao was stunned, then touched his head, "I don't have any impression."

"He seems to be hostile to you." Bai Yutang whispered, "It's a strange feeling."

Zhan Zhao thought about it, but still didn't think about it, and didn't take it to heart, he pulled Bai Yutang, "Let's go, there are more important things to do!"

"What?" Everyone was surprised—could it be that Zhan Zhao discovered something.

"Eat." Zhan Zhao replied confidently.

Bai Yutang looked up at the sky.

The fourth son also remembered that he was hungry at this moment. He covered his stomach and frowned and looked at Zhao Pu. Before the word "hungry" could be said, Zhao Pu ran away holding him in his arms. The fourth son was hungry and couldn't do it!

"I want to eat hot pot!" The fourth son said to Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu went straight to the most famous hot pot shop in the city.

Gongsun chased after him, "Don't eat hot pot consecutively!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed Xiao Wu with them, and felt that the three of them were quite serious and kind of like a family of three.

Walking fast all the way, when he was about to reach the gate of the city, Xiao Wu suddenly stopped, turned his face, and looked at the forest beside him.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu chased and coaxed the fourth son into the city.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang noticed that Xiao Wu was not moving, so they stopped to look at it.

"Zhan Xiao Wu!" Zhan Zhao poked Xiao Wu's ass with his toe, "Let's go, aren't you hungry? Go to the city and buy a roast chicken to stuff your teeth."

Xiao Wu looked back at Zhan Zhao and then at Bai Yutang, and walked into the forest.

"Entered the woods again?" Zhan Zhao grabbed its tail, "Didn't you find something again? Come back after dinner."

Xiao Wu wagged his tail and wanted to go into the woods, but Zhan Zhao had no choice but to drag his tail to follow.

Bai Yutang looked around, and found that it was not very far from the city gate, but the forest was quite dense, so there should not be many people coming.

Not long after Xiao Wu walked into the forest, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang smelled a strange smell.

The two frowned... It seemed that something was burnt, faint.

Soon, Xiao Wu seemed to have found something and started digging the snow on the ground.

Zhan Zhao walked over, reached out and picked a branch, and helped Xiao Wu sweep away the snow on the ground. After a while...under the thick snow, there was a black, scorched hand.

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes wide - a charred corpse? !

Bai Yutang walked over, stretched out his hand to pull Zhan Zhao to signal Xiao Wu to back off, and raised his hand... Inner strength pushed Xue to the side... Under the snow layer, there was a sentence with icy slag, a scorched corpse exposed come out.

The shape of the corpse was distorted, the hands were folded in front of the body, and the body was bent, as if struggling.

"He was burned alive." Bai Yutang looked at the corpse and frowned, "He must have been doused with kerosene, otherwise it would have been impossible to burn like this."

"It's so cruel, what a deep hatred." Zhan Zhao frowned, "Tianmu hasn't caught her yet, and there's another scorched corpse to deal with."

"If it wasn't for Xiao Wu, the corpse would not be discovered until the next spring when the ice and snow melted." Bai Yutang shook his head, "By then we should not be in the state capital anymore."

"It shouldn't have been long since he died, but the smell is still there." Zhan Zhao nodded, "If it freezes for a few more days, it's completely frozen, and the smell probably won't be there."

"Do you think it's a coincidence, or is it related to Tianmu's case?" Bai Yutang asked.

"I can't tell." Zhan Zhao sighed, "We looked around and found no suspicious clues, and there was no trace of burning under the snow layer. It seems that it was just a corpse."

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, reached out and patted Bai Yutang's shoulder, "You wait here for a while."

Bai Yutang looked at him.

Zhan Zhao patted Xiao Wu's head again, "Stay here with your brother, I'll be back soon."

After finishing speaking... Zhan Zhao disappeared with a "whoosh".

Bai Yutang blinked, Xiao Wu sat down and started licking his paws, he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but he hooked his tail at the hem of Bai Yutang's clothes, making a "huhu" sound.

Bai Yutang knew that they didn't have a ringing arrow on them, so Zhan Zhao probably went back to the city to find the yamen servant to carry the body. Based on Zhan Zhao's lightness skills, he guessed that they had already arrived at the capital of Yanzhou, but it would be more troublesome to bring someone here, so maybe they should hurry up on horseback.

Just thinking about it, a large snowflake floated down.

Bai Yutang raised his face to look at the sky, the snow probably won't be light.

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to catch a few snowflakes, perhaps touched by the scene, suddenly remembered the scene when he was a child and went to Tianshan to practice kung fu with Tianzun.

It often snows on Tianshan Mountain. When he first went there, because he is from the south, he was very afraid of the cold.He remembered that at night, he would wrap himself up in a small quilt and sit next to the stove, and Tianzun built a stove beside him to cook hot pot.Cook a chopstick and stuff it into his mouth, not letting him reach out, for fear that he will freeze.However, Tianzun also has a contradictory temperament. He usually spoils him to the heavens. Once he practices kung fu, he throws him into the snow and pours a basin of water on him.

Thinking of this, Bai Yutang wanted to laugh... Tianzun originally followed him, but suddenly left again. He didn't know where he was these few days, and he didn't know if he got lost again.

"call……"

Bai Yutang was lost in thought, when Xiao Wu beside him suddenly roared in a low voice, the voice came from his throat, carrying some kind of warning.

Bai Yutang sensed that there seemed to be someone nearby, and when he looked over in a blink of an eye, he saw a person standing beside a tree outside the forest.

Bai Yutang turned his face away, just in time the man was also looking in, and looked at each other... Bai Yutang recognized it and frowned slightly.

The person who came was somewhat unexpected by Bai Yutang, it was Pan Xu.

Pan Xu should be locked up in the yamen, why was he released?

After thinking about it, it's not impossible, maybe it's just a evasion. If the shop assistants say that he is just a customer, he can naturally leave in a big way.

What made Bai Yutang even more curious was why he appeared here?Does it have anything to do with this scorched corpse?

Pan Xu came out from behind the tree and said, "So it's Bai Wuye."

Bai Yutang remained calm and glanced at him.

"Oh..." Pan Xu smiled awkwardly, "I was passing by just now, and I saw a white figure in the distance, and I thought it was Tianmu..."

Bai Yutang looked at him with no expression on his face, and after a long time, he said unhurriedly, "You have a good look, so the big black tiger didn't see it?"

The fleshy skin on Pan Xu's face visibly twitched slightly, making him even more embarrassed.

Bai Yutang didn't pay any attention to him. In the distance, the sound of horseshoes could be heard. It should be Zhan Zhao who brought someone here.

Pan Xu frowned when he saw Zhan Zhao, turned around and left without saying anything.

Bai Yutang didn't try to stop him, and set a long line to catch big fish. Now that Mr. Bao has investigated Wangyousan in the entire Yanzhou Prefecture, Pan Xu has lost his money, and he will definitely show his feet after a long time.

Zhan Zhao frowned when he saw a person coming out of the forest from a long distance—it was Pan Xu from the back.

Just now when Zhan Zhao returned to Yanzhou Mansion, he also heard from Zhang Long and Zhao Hu that someone from Baigui Villa came to ask for someone from Mr. Bao.

The owner of the opera garden insisted that Pan Xu was just a customer, he didn't know him well at all, and he didn't sell Wangyousan.

Zhan Zhao had long known that Master Bao was going to go fishing for big fish, but he never expected that Pan Xu would appear near the forest... Could it be that the charred corpse had something to do with him?

When Zhan Zhao arrived at the edge of the woods, he rolled his saddle off his horse. When Xiao Wu saw that Zao Duoduo was also coming, he immediately strolled out, and the servants' horses fell down in a large area in fright.Zao Duoduo kicked Xiao Wu with his hoof, signaling him to... go back to the woods, he wanted to scare the horse to death by coming out like this!

Xiao Wu had no choice but to sit and watch from a distance as the yamen servants dragged the frightened horse back, gently brushing Zao Duoduo's hooves with their tails, like a child looking for someone to play with.

Zhanzhao Wangtian - how can this tiger have the domineering spirit of the king of beasts!Sure enough, no matter it is a big cat or a kitten, as long as they are full, they are easy to get along with.

"Why is Pan Xu here?" Zhan Zhao ran to Bai Yutang, and the yamen servants began to move the corpse, "Did he provoke you? You don't have to beat him up!"

Bai Yutang laughed, and shook his head, "I'm not sure." Then, he described the scene just now.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "White Ghost Villa is not in this direction, he clearly came to find this corpse!"

Bai Yutang nodded, "I think so too."

"Hey, dead again?"

The two turned to the outside, and saw Ziying and Zheying talking.

"Have you two stopped following the guide? Did you find anything?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Yes!" Ziying asked, "Where do you think this guide went?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and shook their heads.

Zhe Ying smiled, "White Ghost Villa!"
